Abstract

Several methods were proposed by different researchers to observe the behavior of the driver. Various factors such as driver behavior, driver state or physiological behavior, vehicle condition, and other external factors are responsible for road accidents. The state of the driver can be categorized as attentive or drowsy. The drowsiness in drivers is due to fatigue, sleepiness, or alcohol intoxication (i.e., being drunk). This paper proposes a system comprising a pulse sensor, accelerometer, and alcohol sensor, etc. that regularly monitors the driver alertness and generates alerts if drowsiness is detected. The algorithm uses driver’s data, sensors data and employs HRV analysis for the determination of driver’s fatigue. Section 3 and 4 of the paper discuss the proposed method and algorithm and section 5 presents the hardware implementation.
